Greg Rakestraw is the first fill-in host of the summer as coach Bob Lovell takes his hiatus. He previews the show and what to expect while we’re in a “slow” time of sport in Indiana. Greg touches on why that’s not the case. He also runs through the latest in the college baseball world series from all divisions. Plus, Greg is still getting used to the show clock, even after all these years. We hear from Howard Kellman after the Indianapolis Indians fall to the Iowa Cubs. Despite a blowout loss, Howard says the fans got their money worth after some weird events in the ninth inning. Plus, he reflects 30 years at Victory Field as the anniversary is coming up.
